The School for Ministry

The School for Ministry (SFM)—a certificate and local formation program—offers theological education for two groups of students: certificate students and life-long learners.

Two Groups of SFM Students

1. Certificate students - receive course-of-study certificates when they complete the curriculum

  • Lay preachers (must be recommended by their rector or vicar)

  • Priesthood (must have approval from the Commission on Ministry)

2. Life-long learners - do not receive certificates, but enjoy “Theology for All” Zoom seminars

  • Any adult wanting to deepen their theological knowledge (must have permission of instructor)
